Graphic DesignAssociate in Arts

Purpose

Graphic design is art that interests, informs, persuades, or sells. It has
taken the traditional form of printed material and now includes computer
imaging.

The Associate in Arts degree with an emphasis in graphic design is for students who want to complete a two-year
program or transfer to a four-year college or university. The educational plan gives
students a solid base in studio art. A portfolio of artwork is required to
demonstrate studio abilities upon completion of the program.
